Check out the retooled TIE Interceptor !

Boxed view.

Ejection seat.

From Rebelscum.com

Points of Interest:
- This version of the TIE Interceptor uses the same wings as 2001's POTJ TIE Interceptor, but now has a new cockpit with removable ejection seat. - Yay!
- The TIE INterceptor Pilot is a repack of the figure from 2009's LC Evolutions - Imperial Pilot Legacy II set. The helmet has been changed...there are no "ace" stripes on the front.
- Minor boo :(.

Methinks that the included figure might just push the price to astronomical highs again, just like their General Grevious and V-Wing exclusives :(.

Yup..except the times when the ships on your side beats a hasty retreat into hyperspace..leaving you floating in space :?

btw the seat and the pilot looks really good..the interceptor I have, you just push the pilot in ._.

Just read Star Wars Empire comic and in one scene, Biggs had this situation where they eject from their Tie Fighter. One side note, Tie Fighter are not installed with Hyperdrive. :wink:

On another sidenote..it is part of Sun Tzu's Art of War that says that if you put your man in a situation where he has to fight or die, they will fight with no hesitant and courageously. So, not installing the hyperdrive is a good way to motivate TIE pilots xD

See can find someone selling spare parts..then I can just buy the seat and pilot and try putting into my vintage interceptor =X

L O L i think its just the imperial procuring department being too stingy x3 since they had hyperdrives installed for royal guards' interceptors right
